playing an mp4 that has no .mp4 extension #3

Closed vmacavero closed 5 years ago

vmacavero commented 5 years ago

Hi, i have a 360 mp4 file. It is correctly played, but only when it has the .mp4 extension. If i rename it and has no extension, i can't play it, neither if i give him some other extension like .vr360 (for example).

Is there a way to force the program to play the files (as a regular mp4 ? )

I tried forcing in xml config file with no luck.

Should i compile the program again on myself ? But what option my i change to make it recognize the "vr360" extension and threat it like a normal mp4 ?

Thanks

Hi, you can modify the code to support the .vr360 file extension. But to specify the 360 videos, it's more common to have normal .mp4 or .mov file extensions with metadata built-in.

Thanks.
